The 2026 Dal Zotto Pinot Grigio is a fresh and elegant Australian white wine from the King Valley in Victoria, produced by the family-owned Dal Zotto Wines. Known for its Italian winemaking heritage, Dal Zotto embraces the region’s cool-climate conditions to create wines that celebrate traditional Italian grape varieties. Crafted from Pinot Grigio, this wine is expected to display inviting aromas of crisp green apple, fresh pear, white peach and lemon zest, complemented by delicate hints of citrus blossom, honeysuckle and subtle mineral notes.
On the palate, it is expected to be light to medium-bodied with refreshing acidity and a smooth, finely textured mouthfeel. Flavours of juicy pear, green apple, white nectarine and fresh lemon unfold alongside subtle notes of melon, citrus peel and delicate floral complexity. Its lively acidity provides freshness and definition, while the gentle fruit richness adds balance without overwhelming the palate. The finish is dry, crisp and persistent, leaving lingering impressions of orchard fruit, citrus zest and subtle mineral freshness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who appreciate crisp, refreshing white wines with delicate fruit flavours and an elegant, easy-drinking character. The 2026 Dal Zotto Pinot Grigio is expected to reflect the Italian-inspired winemaking traditions of Victoria’s King Valley, combining fresh orchard fruit with lively acidity and a clean, dry finish. Best enjoyed young over the next 2–3 years to appreciate its vibrant fruit and freshness. Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. Particularly well suited to grilled prawns with lemon, fresh seafood linguine, pan-seared barramundi, chicken piccata, summer salads, asparagus risotto or antipasto with soft cheeses and olives.
